Hi! Black girl here-just wanted to say your hair looks so gorgeous and I’ve been having this convo a lot lately but I’m so excited to see so many people exploring different styles!

You taught my husband how to braid my dreads in! Put my first set in last week! Thank you! 💜

I wish she could teach my husband lol. I'd look like a rat's nest when he was done, even after lessons.

And oil your scalp after that wash and whenever your scalp feels dry 😊

My main issue when washing my locks is not actually washing them but drying, it takes so long and I feel they always remain wet

I love your hair. I'm in the process of looking for people who want faux locs... But without the braids. But i love, love, love your hair

"do NOT put conditioner in it" Me who never has like conditioner: YAAAAS MY DREAM COME TRUE I WANT DREADLOCKS

Iv had my synthetic dreads in my hair for a while washing is so simple I wash my hair like I would if they weren’t in I jst focus more on my scalp I use to use that massager but I personally jst like using my fingers and lift the dreads and get in the lines then rinse 🤷🏼‍♀️ and the best part is they dry fast and if any fall out you can simply braid it back in👌

Many double ended strands does it take to have a full head installation?

Unrelated but the pop of green is SO CUTE

Great reminders thanx ❤

What Bout wool dreads? Can I wear them in for a few months and how to wash them?

How do you care for authentic curly partial dreads when wet

So cute!

i don’t know about synthetic locs but you can use leave in conditioner(NOT RINSE OUT) to wash locs

Don't blow dry them if they're synthetic. It can cause mass shrinkage

Is the hair heat resistant can you use hot tools on it ??

Can I ask what happens to the curly ends after washing? I haven't installed mine yet but will it relax the curl? I kinda want it relaxed but know I can't flat iron them.

Where do you get your dreadlocks from?

My hair is different lengths and I’m having a hard time covering my ends up

Suggestion: look into no sulfates fast hair growth shampoo.

What color is the emerald looking color? These dreads are so pretty. I'm making my first pair as we speak!!!

I think its like a viridian color

What can we do if we do the curly girl method and only use conditioner and not shampoo 😭?

Can you use oils for your scalp

Omg yes I needed this. Also I use the same shampoo brand. I was in Walmart today I was like do I need a new shampoo? Noooo I don't because I like the soap bar better. But seriously need one of those things, but Im only doing the half look I love it I do but I really want to do a full a head. But at the same time I want to wait until I have enough money for some new dreads. Have any recommendation? I mean the dreads I have I got from Etsy I love them not bad.

Do you wax and palm roll the after wash?

Where did you get ur shampoo

Can you sell this set again?!?!

Do you think baby shampoo would be okay to use? I just made a bunch of dreads for myself, and forgot to get good shampoo. I have redken and baby shampoo laying around, so I was gonna use that till I ordered more. But I didn't wanna fck my hair up

You need a non sulfate shampoo you want to eliminate as much of the lather as possible.

Can you keep any beads or decorative things that you have on your dreadlocks when showering or swimming?

Yes but if it’s not real silver or gold they’ll discolour quite fast. I’ve also had a situation where I found green residue underneath metal beads that I’d had in for 3 months and left un during multiple washes and swimming. In short, yes but not recommended :)

I love yours I want your hair.

Did these ever give you massive migraines? I tried synthetic and had to switch to wool because of the migraines I was getting. I want to wear synthetic so bad but my migraines just won't let me 🥲🥲

It was always a joke when we were kids my friend Shanee's rubber band popped and hit me in the face one SEVERAL occasions lmfao its amazing I still have both my eyes. Nothing more dangerous than a head full of rubber bands on a hot summer day. 💣 🤣 ive tried both rubber and the more plastic feel bands. I use embroidery thread or you can buy hair floss its like fishing line for hair. Or you could use actual fishing line or jewelry stuff yhsts what I do. You have to tie down each and every band. You can colored stuff and use it decorate them or invisible stuff

How do you know if you should get single ones or double ones?

@ImpressDivinity

Depends if you want more volume/density. If you just want the locs and the length use single ended but I'd you want "bigger" hair or like hers ...and have finer or less dense hair then you need double ended ones

Do you offer the Twists, braided and wraps on your website? I really would like to add texture. 💜

You must be racist

I had my real hair dreadlocked and dreaded extensions into them. I had them for about a year, when I removed them/brushed them out they were full of build up from shampoo. They stunk like musty shampoo and I was experiencing scalp issues like pimples and pain. How come this happened. I thought I was rinsing really well.. I only used a clarifying shampoo for build up once every 2 weeks and I did apple cider vinegar rinses

I’ve had my hair loc’d for almost 3 yrs now. You’re washing too much. Try once a month. You can rinse with plain water anytime you want. Use Dollilocks brand loc bar soap. Do NOT rub the bar on your head/locs. Lather on your hands & run your sudsy hands thru your scalp & locs. Rinse very well.

Dreadful

Or u could just actually grow dreads and be able to wash ur hair like normal

Use your fingers And nails to wash the scalp If they are parted correctly u won’t have to worry about it being ruined Conditioner is for moisture Synthetic hair dries out the hair.. so if ur not going to use a oil based moisturizer Use conditioner To soothe the scalp Coming from the culture who wears what u have in the video.

Which culture are you referring to? Anyone that doesn’t comb their hair will cause it to dread. It is something that naturally occurs. They go back as far as Ancient Greek, Aztec and Polish cultures. People have them today in all parts of the world and all for different reasons.

​@@umm9423 RACISM MEANING: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group. You are not superior to anyone because you are a 'black person' by saying you are upset because a women has a hairstyle that you think should be restricted to only one community group (which it is not) is racist.
